Not at present. It's a known wish from everyone who works with Flash.

You only get actions on button hits, not on overs. You can get a sound

within the button though. There are also methods to fake an animated

mouseover state, too.

yeah: as the action in a button - do

yourmailyourhost [dot] com (mailto:yourmailyourhost [dot] com)

 (or

whatever)

Did you set bgcolor within the embed and object coding? The HTML aspect

of Flash is a bit tricky. Recheck the tutorial.


I know you'll get lots of responses on this ... good luck with Flash!
